Here we give details to what material is covered in each week, and provide references to self-study material and links to videos.

Week 0 (recommended to self-study before the course)

Countable sets and uncountable sets. Proof that the rational numbers are countable and the irrational numbers are uncountable.

The lecture note Section 0 covers most of this topic, but you can also refer to your favorite textbook or youtube-video if you need to brush up on your knowledge about countability.
